Pseudoregalia (2023)
When reality feels like it's falling apart, one might retreat to a world in their dreams to escape it. Unfotunately, dreams aren't made to last. Explore a perverse image of noble living. Grow strong, and free those trapped within this rotten dream. A game originally made for the Metroidvania Month 19 game jam, this extended edition brings new areas, enemies, story, and a visual overhaul, all while retaining the original dreamlike atmosphere. Game Features Classic metroidvania action in 3D! Find your own way through Castle Sansa with open ended level design. Unique platforming gameplay! Abilities such as the air kick let you tackle problems how you see fit, with a blend of tight challenges and smooth exploration. Face a littany of foes! Combat is light and keeps movement at its core. Retro inspiration! Experience a visual and audio aesthetic inspired by 5th-gen consoles, with modern gameplay refinements. A satisfying bite size experience! Pseudoregalia manages to give you a condensed but full metroidvania playthrough in just a few hours, but is highly replayable with different routes to take!
